Wander project Indianapolis, Greenwood Malls and Robotics!

We have dear friends that live in New Jersey. They came out to visit us in Indiana back in 2010. We decided to show them the height of Indiana by wandering to the Circle City Mall and then a Robotics event. Circle City mall is a double entendre. First The Circle City is a nickname for Indianapolis. The reason for the Nickname is the Indianapolis 500 mile motor race and track. Which by the by, are actually in Speedway Indiana. But Indianapolis is called the Circle City.

The first few pictures are of us wandering the mall. It is a vertical, not horizontal Mall. I have been to malls all over the world; every country does them a little differently. In the US, there are a few stores that tell you what kind of mall it is. There are three types of malls in the US.

  1. High end or Luxury
  2. Browsing and shopping for food
  3. Discount

Circle City Mall fits into the first category. So you see stores like Tiffanies, and upscale restaurants and stores. The fun thing is regardless of the type of mall in the US; there is always a Cinnabon. You realize the mall has a Cinnabon when you walk in. There is nothing like the smell of Yeast, dough, and cinnamon. It wafts into the air and fills the place with warmth.

The rest of the pictures today are from the Robotics event. The twins were into Robotics for many years. It is a huge STEM (STEAM/CSTEAM) activity. In fact, the design and sharing of designs push the entire Robotics process well into CSTEAM (collaboration, science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math).

The day was fun, always good to hang out with friends!
